For those of you who remember my ludicrous method from a month or two back, I seek absolution! Before I even purchased a NeXT, I sought out the advice of the sages at Adobe. I was told by the person on the phone that as long as I didn't violate the one-copy/one-machine rule, Adobe has no problems with it. In fact, they wanted a copy of the program that did the conversion. Again, I questioned the authors of mfrc when I first tried it. Now, I praise them. I hope they read this.
